Riverside Drive runs along by the Thames in Ham, with a housing estate on
one side and open ground on the other leading to the river's edge. There are
a number of playing fields on its northern edge, not too far from Ham House.

Since filming, the road has been resurfaced and the street lights have been
moved from away from the edge of the pavement.

This position is based upon the way the road straightens by Croft Way,
as it appears straight where the brontosaurus is standing.
